Lu Dafu was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his eyes were squinting, and he couldn't even breathe, looking half-dead. An old man with a goatee next to him put his hand on his pulse, a hesitant look in his eyes.

After a long tea time, the old doctor took his hand away, stroked his beard and closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Doctor, how is my father's illness?" Lu Chun hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"The pulse is a little more stable, but the body is still relatively weak and needs to be rested." The old doctor paused, "Ling Zun's main problem is heart disease, everything must be relaxed, and the condition can be greatly improved." ”

"Thank you, doctor." Lu Chun gave up his hand again and again.

The old doctor nodded, and turned back to the table. Lu Chun hurriedly handed over the brush dipped in ink, and the old doctor quickly wrote a warm prescription, "Grab the medicine according to this, just one pair a day." Usually let Ling Zun eat more rice porridge and vegetarian soup, not greasy and spicy. Ling Zun's body is all caused by the impatience of the heart, and the family should persuade him more. It is important to remember that a doctor can heal the body, but not the heart. ”

Lu Chun naturally agreed again and again, and after offering five taels of medical fees, he sent the old doctor out of the door.

After returning to the room, Lu Chun came to Lu Dafu's bed, held Lu Dafu's hand, and squeezed it twice. Lu Dafu slowly opened his eyes and said hoarsely to the lady and daughter who were waiting next to him, "You all go out and let Chun'er accompany me to talk here." ”

Mrs. Lu instructed a few words, and then pulled Lu Feng'er out of the door, and the other two maids who were waiting also went out.

As soon as the door of the house was closed, Lu Dafu sat up from the bed with a wheel, and his eyes instantly glowed. In addition to being slightly pale, there is no way to look a little sick.

Lu Chun was not surprised at all. Since he told Lu Dafu the news of Song Zheng's return yesterday, Lu Dafu's illness has been mostly cured immediately. As the doctor said, Lu Dafu is mainly in a hurry, and there is no big problem with his body. Now that he knows that Song Zheng is outside and has come up with a feasible method, Lu Dafu's mood is very relaxed.

Lu Dafu's trust in Song Zheng is even greater than that of Lu Chun. From the establishment of the business bank to the present, Song Zheng has brought too many surprises to Lu Dafu.

However, Lu Dafu is a calm and experienced person, in order not to make people suspicious, he pretended to be seriously ill and hid from his wife and his subordinates. Only Lu Feng'er was aware of some truths, but with her intelligence, she didn't say anything, but covered up for Lu Dafu.

"In the future, don't ask the doctor to come to see you every day, and I'll almost show my stuffing today." Lu Dafu commanded. Although Lu Dafu can pretend to be sick, his pulse cannot be concealed.

Lu Chun nodded, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms, "Fang Cai Lao Bu came over and sent this." Lao Bu is a confidant brought by Lu Dafu from Shandong Road, and he usually sits in the trading building. When Song Zheng was discussing with Lu Chun how to get in touch, Lu Chun recommended Lao Bu. After all, it was impossible for Song Zheng to sneak into the Lu Mansion at any time to deliver the news.

Lu Dafu took the paper, looked at it quickly, and was furious, "These people really do everything, and they dare to fight the idea of Ruifeng silver tickets." ”

What was written on that piece of paper was the fake plan proposed by Jian Ershao in Huang Song's Mansion, and even the specific method was explained.

"Father, in order to prevent trouble, I think we should immediately activate the new anti-counterfeiting mark, and exchange all the old silver tickets before they create fake silver tickets."

Lu Dafu pondered for a moment and shook his head, "You can't do this for the time being, at least it can't be so obvious." Seeing that Lu Chun was surprised, Lu Dafu said, "Judging from the level of detail of this news, it must be Xiaolang who arranged someone on the other side." If we act immediately, I am afraid that our enemies will suspect that there is something wrong with them, and in that case the person arranged by Xiao Lang will be in danger. ”

Lu Chun suddenly realized, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and he is worthy of being a veteran who has been rolling and crawling in the business sea for decades.

"What my father said is true, but what if the other party makes a fake silver ticket?"

Lu Dafu said with a smile, "Even if the other party does it, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it in a month or two." Also, don't forget. Although the various branches of our Ruifeng Money Bank are also engaged in lending and storage to ordinary people, the business volume is very small, and they are all small amount of silver bills. The main business of the bank is also those who are engaged in overseas trading, so that they can buy and sell goods. Therefore, the silver tickets are mainly concentrated in their hands. And how much they exchange amount, our money bank has a foundation. ”

This sentence is good, Daqi's overseas trade is mainly concentrated in coastal places such as Mingzhou and Jinzhou south of the Yangtze River, which is also the reason why the Ruifeng Qianzhuang branch is concentrated in Liangzhejiang Road and Fujian Road. In other words, the clientele of Ruifeng Money is relatively fixed.

Lu Chun is not a stupid person, and after a little thought, he said, "If they take the fake silver bill to exchange, and the semicolon below does not know the situation, I am afraid there will be losses." ”

"Yes, what we are doing now is to make it difficult for the other party to make fake silver tickets. Didn't Xiaolang say that he needed two months? We risked dragging it out for two months. It really doesn't work, and then use the method you just said, exchange the new silver ticket for the old one. ”

Lu Dafu immediately made arrangements to select thirty good players from the Zhenfeng Dart Bureau and rushed to Jinjiang to protect the place where the silver tickets were printed, and at the same time closely protect several old craftsmen who mastered the core. In the name, it is easy to find, that is, Ruifeng Yinzhuang has changed the owner, and everything must be reformed and renewed. As for the development of new silver tickets, there is no hurry. There are three spare copies of the Silver Ticket Printing Place, which can be used for printing at any time.

After arranging the matter of the silver ticket, of course Lu Dafu wanted to ask about Lu Qiu's news. Lu Chun smiled bitterly, "Xiaolang has just come back, and it will take time to make arrangements." ”

Lu Dafu was dumbfounded, "It's because I'm too anxious." I believe that Xiaolang will arrange it, he has the most eyes. ”

"Yes, as soon as I saw Xiaolang, my heart settled down a lot, and even my father's illness was much better."

"Well, I'm going to have two more days in this bed. In this way, according to what Xiaolang said, when you go to Kaibao Qianzhuang, you have to pretend to be like some, and don't show your feet. ”

Lu Chun smiled bitterly, "Xiaolang's strategy is good, but this acting is too hard." ”

"Bunny! Lao Tzu was lying on the bed and his body was moldy, and he didn't even call half a bitter word, and you even complained! I tell you, if you get out of the basket, see that I don't break your legs. Get out! Lu Dafu reprimanded with a cold face.

Lu Chun shrank his neck and had to turn around and go out. Lu Dafu's voice came from behind him, "Just when you are Lao Tzu and I are dying, you can pretend to be some." ”

Lu Chunyi grinned, it seemed that this method could only be used. Lao Tzu is dying, what is he like? It seems that my father had that feeling when he vomited blood the other day. Recall, having had a real experience, it doesn't seem too difficult to get into the play.

————

On the south bank of the Qinhuai River, which is about a mile away from Yuhualou, there is a tall house, where people come in and out from time to time, bustling. On the plaque in front of the door, there are four big characters: "Kaibao Qianzhuang".

The business of the money bank is prosperous, and people come and go. And in the courtyard behind the silver building, there is another world. The garden is full of flowers and plants, green willows are like shade, and the scenery is pleasant. A high wall separates the hustle and bustle ahead, making it very quiet, except for the occasional cheerful cry from the two birdcages hanging under the corridor.

A round-faced man was looking at the beautiful woman feeding the birds with a smile on his face, wearing a newly made cool silk dress on his body, which not only trimmed the fit, but also slightly tightened his waist, which made the man look very energetic.

It's no wonder that Jian Er is proud, the beautiful woman in front of her is capable and considerate, and she is beautiful, and whoever marries such a woman is also smiling from ear to ear. Although the stomach is a little unhappy, and there is nothing to come out of after three years of marriage, it is not a big problem, both of them are still young and easy to have children. The doctor also said that as long as the date is calculated, there will be hope for these two months.

Ling Huxi closed the birdcage, clapped his hands, and shook off a few grains of millet on his hands. He took the kettle from Jian Ershao and added a little water to the cage. Originally, this kind of work was left to the next person, but both of them enjoyed the time of feeding the birds together. Watching the golden silk bird in the cage happily pecking rice and drinking water, the two looked at each other and smiled, full of affection and sweetness.

It's a pity that there are people who brake the scenery. No, the front door was opened, and a slightly chubby old man in his fifties ran through the door, bringing a bit of the hustle and bustle of the front yard.

Jian Ershao frowned, "Uncle De, what's the matter?" ”

"Second young master, the young owner of Huitong Trading House has been waiting in front for half an hour, you see......" the old man wiped his sweat and said.

"Didn't I tell you? When the people from Huitong came, they said that I would go to our friend, and I would not see him for the time being. Wait for him to make two more trips. ”

"I said it, but then Lu Chun said that he would wait for you, it seems that he will have to wait, I persuaded him to come again next time, and he should not."

Jian Ershao pondered for a moment and asked, "What about Lu Chun's face?" ”

The old man hurriedly said, "Your face is quite ugly." I sat there restlessly, walked back and forth after sitting for a while, and sighed from time to time, looking quite worried. I just haven't left yet, I have to wait for the second young master. ”

Jian Ershao smiled proudly, turned his head and said, "Madam, what do you see?" Do you want to see you now? See what he has to say. ”

"Can't see it!" Ling Huxi seemed to be a different person, and said calmly, "It's still ten days away from the day, and now he is just worried, and he is not in a hurry." Seeing him now, it's not easy to talk about. ”

Speaking of this, Ling Huxi smiled brightly, "Xi'er listens to the Xianggong, if the Xianggong sees it, he will see it, and if he doesn't see it, he won't see it." ”

Jian Ershao laughed. What he is most satisfied with is his wife's attitude, always focusing on men and never encroaching on them. This woman is so sensible.

Since Madame has a point, how can Jian Ershao not obey, he straightens his chest and ordered, "You go and tell Lu Chun, just say that I won't come back until late, and I won't come back if I'm happy, so don't wait." ”

The old man naturally responded, and was about to leave, when Ling Huxi's voice came again, "Uncle De, you speak more tactfully." In addition, good tea and good water are served, and you must not be rude. ”

"Yes, young lady." The old man bowed and trotted away.

Jian Ershao stroked Ling Huxi's shoulders and couldn't help but say, "If you have a wife like this, what more can you ask for a husband!" ”

Ling Huxi snuggled up to him and said with a smile, "The slave family is proud, married to a good man, this life is worth it." ”

Jian Ershao grabbed his wife's delicate body, raised his head and looked ahead, full of pride. If Jian Ershao could take a closer look at his wife, he would find that his wife's eyes were staring at the direction of the old man's departure, very cold.
